Conveyor systems are used for moving materials from one location to another. Considerations for choosing a suitable industrial conveying system include the nature of the product, its physical state, the desired conveying rate, and sensitivity of the product to heat and mechanical shock. Conveying equipment is used in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, biomass, and mineral industries to move materials around a warehouse as well as to transport bulk powders, granules, and grains for processing and filling. These types of systems are usually automated and there is a wide variety of solutions to choose when it comes to the type of conveyor. Types include screw, gravity, chain, roller and belt conveyors.

Conveying

Depositing equipment is a very common production line process in the food industry. Whether you want to make muffins or jellies or garnish and decorate cakes, all of this is impossible without the depositing step. Depositing is a form of extrusion used primarily to produce pieces of dough that will be further processed to create several food products. The dough is passed through a depositing machine and poured in equal parts from holes in a die plate with nozzles or a conveyor belt. But that’s not all. Depositors are also used to fill, layer, or cover your food items with other ingredients before proceeding to the next step of the production process which is usually packaging.

Depositing

Pharmaceuticals and healthcare product manufacturers dealing with oral solid products such as tablets and capsules need fool-proof quality inspection to assure product safety. Although a traditional 2D quality system caters to 100% inspection, it may fail to identify some defects in the product. This can lead to approval of damaged products and hamper consumer safety. A 3D system giving real-time quality control in all 3 dimensions of the whole batch of products offers a reliable and dependable solution to that.
<h2>Integrated 2D/3D solution for inspection of a range of tablets and capsules</h2>

Vision inspection system for tablets and capsules

The packaging of pharmaceuticals and oral solid products such as tablets and capsules requires a complete quality inspection to guarantee product safety. A conventional vision inspection system controls the external features of the products but may not detect variations in their chemical composition. Therefore, such primary inspection isn’t adequate, particularly in products that are visually similar but have different proportions of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). Integrating the chemical composition inspection of the product with the traditional vision inspection process provides an error-free solution.


<h2>Integrated imaging technology for non-destructive chemical composition inspection of tablets and capsules</h2>
Harle NIRc from SEA VISION is a near-infrared vision inspection system equipped with a hyperspectral camera to detect the chemical content of products. It can be installed on counting machines or blister thermoformers to check the chemical composition of oral solid forms prior to sealing.

Thermoforming

In the medicine industry, it is important to ensure there are no defects in tablets or capsules. However, it’s a challenging task when combining high-speed production where thousands of tablets are produced every hour with high safety standards for highly toxic medicine. Sometimes highly toxic products, which operators cannot touch, are required to be delivered free from defects. Moreover, when the industry is producing various medicines including tablets, capsules, and soft gels, there is a need for a machine that can inspect and sort each category of product with great accuracy.
<h2>Inspecting and sorting in high-speed medicine production</h2>
The Sensum Spine Hypo is an inspection and sorting unit for highly toxic products with a fully automatic mode of operation in which defected products are detected and separated automatically. The Sensum Spine Hypo unit inspects the entire surface of a product (tablet, capsule, and softgels) at a speed of up to 360,000 products per hour. The products are transferred in the inspection system with a vacuum. A combination of six-colour cameras is used to thoroughly inspect the product. The active sorting system separates defective products with compressed air which fall under gravity to a compartment for defective products, while the perfect quality product moves forward for packing. Sensum Spine Hypo can be trained to identify the defects in new products by providing defect-free samples of the product. It will automatically recognize its colour, shape, thickness, etc. Once it is trained for the new product, which usually takes 10 minutes, the unit is ready for operation.

Sensum Spine Hypo performs 100 percent visual inspection, meaning, it scans all sides of the tablets, capsules or softgels to find any defects. The defects it can check for include the presence of a foreign product, colour deviation, shape, cracks, coating defects, thickness, chips, lamination defects, uneven surfaces, engraving defects, dirt, dots, damaged edges, and damaged prints.

The machine protects against contamination using inlet and outlet air filtering, the negative pressure in the process area, and using separation of the process with a barrier (gaskets, seals, silicone sealing). The inlet air filtering protects the clean room from air backflow, while outlet air filtering removes the dust from exhaust air. The separation barrier is another security against contamination supplemented by negative pressure in the process area. Moreover, Spine Hypo also enables use of contained feeding and discharging systems, such as safe connection to IBCs containers and continuous liners.

Sensum Spine Hypo has options for dry and wet cleaning in containment and has glove ports for safe access and interaction without breaking the containment. Dry cleaning with aspiration enables the removal of excessive surface powder accumulated during inspection and wet cleaning can be used to remove airborne powders from the process area of the unit.

Chewable tablets are suitable for patients who have difficulty swallowing. Chewable tablet formulation masks the natural flavors of pharma drugs and alters their aftertaste. But besides the taste, chewable tablets favor the bioavailability of pharmaceutical ingredients.

Chewable tablets

The fizz of effervescent tablets is commonly associated with a vitamin C boost. But the soluble pill is an excellent drug delivery method for pediatric and geriatric patients. Sometimes referred to as carbon tablets, manufacturing effervescent tablets binds biocarbonate and citric acid that produce the smooth hiss as they dissolve in liquid.

Effervescent tablets

When taking a tablet, it is usually the job of our stomach to break down the medication to make it ready to be absorbed into the bloodstream. However, some drugs are not meant to be dissolved in the stomach because the acidic pH of the stomach can disintegrate the drug, making it no longer effective. Using tablet coating equipment that applies a polymer barrier to the tablet makes it possible to protect it from stomach acidity.

Enteric Coated Tablets

The two-piece capsule is a visual shorthand for all types of medical remedies. Advances in technology have made the production of hard-gelatin capsules a convenient delivery method for drugs and other ingested substances. But the simple solution requires micrometric precision to be manufactured to the proper pharmaceutical standards.

Fish oil was a folk remedy long before scientists identified the nutritional value of essential fatty acids. But Omega 3 processing has come a long way since the days of raw fish parts fermenting in a barrel. In fact, new supplement formulations of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may not use fish at all.

Omega 3 oil

Softgel capsules fast-track the delivery of medication to the bloodstream. Unlike solid pills, they do not need to be broken down by the body before the drugs can be absorbed. Moreover, they are optimal vehicles for oils and fat-soluble formulations that cannot be compressed into tablets.

Softgel capsules

It is strange how two tablets can belong to the same but at the same time to a different category depending on how the tablet itself is classified. For example, chewable tablets and effervescent tablets have two different routes of administration but both belong to the category of uncoated tablets. Uncoated tablets are prepared by compression of granules in which no coating is added after compression. They may be single-layer or multi-layer tablets.

Uncoated tablets

There are slight differences between human and animal pharmaceuticals, but that dissimilarity is enough to create new production challenges. Veterinary tablets formulation reflects the diversity of enzymes that different species use to break down substances. Although the methods involved are comparable to human drug manufacturing, equipment and processes need to adapt to a wider dosage variability in veterinary tablets.

Veterinary tablets

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, but the human species lost the ability to produce it biologically during the course of evolution. Instead, we source the substance either from whole foods or vitamin C manufacturing. The chemical characteristics of the natural nutrient and processed compound are the same, but supplements offer higher concentrations, especially to persons with nutrient deficiencies.
